  • FIG. 7 is the perspective view from the bottom.
  • Ranges are used herein in shorthand, so as to avoid having to list and describe each and every value within the range. Any appropriate value within the range can be selected as the upper value, lower value, or the terminus of the range.
  • the term “flowable material” does not include gaseous materials, but encompasses materials which are flowable under gravity or may be pumped.
  • Such materials include liquids, for example, milk, water, fruit juice, oil; emulsions, for example, ice cream mix, soft margarine; pastes, for example, meat pastes, peanut butter; preserves, for example, jams, pie fillings, marmalade; jellies; doughs; ground meat, for example, sausage meat; powders, for example, gelatin powders, detergents; granular solids, for example, nuts, sugar; and like materials.
  • the invention described herein is particularly useful for flowable foods such as milk.
  • the adaptor ( 100 ) comprises of a vertical housing ( 1 ), preferably cylindrical, and a horizontal channel ( 2 ), also preferably cylindrical, generally forming an L-shape.
  • the vertical housing ( 1 ), which forms the vertical leg of the L-shape is partially open to the outside ( 7 ), while the horizontal channel ( 2 ) is closed, with at least two openings, first opening ( 3 ) connecting to the vertical housing ( 1 ) and the second opening ( 4 ) at the opposite end, which connects to a dispensing setup (see below and FIG. 5 ), and optionally, a third opening ( 5 ), which, if present, can be closed off with a cap ( 6 ) (see FIG. 7 ).
  • the L-shaped adaptor ( 100 ) is a single piece of plastic.
  • the vertical housing is generally cylindrical ( 1 ), with an opening on its back side ( 7 ), that is, the vertical cylindrical housing ( 1 ) is only partially complete.
  • the back side ( 7 ) of the vertical housing ( 1 ) is open such that only about two-thirds of the cylinder is closed, and which displays a cut-away section.
  • the open portion ( 7 ) of the vertical cylindrical housing ( 1 ) on its back side is used to connect the L-shaped adaptor ( 100 ) to a spout-and-valve assembly attached to a fluid container ( 30 ) (see FIG. 4 ).
  • the partial cylindrical portion ( 10 ) that extends above the J-shaped pull tabs ( 9 ) are designed dimensionally such that attachment of the adaptor ( 100 ) to the spout-and-valve assembly ( 8 ) of the fluid container helps activate the spout and valve to open the fluid container and initiating the flow of the fluid out of the container.
  • the partial vertical cylindrical housing ( 10 ) extending beyond the J-shaped pull tabs ( 9 ) activates at least one, and preferably two optionally horizontal wings ( 11 ) attached to the spout-and-valve assembly ( 8 ), by moving them vertically upward.
  • This vertically upward movement opens the valve within the spout-and-valve assembly ( 8 ) thereby rendering the flow movement out to the horizontal cylindrical channel.
  • the activation is also aided by the seal activator pin ( 12 ) described below.
  • the vertical cylindrical housing wall ( 13 ) proximate to the horizontal channel ( 2 ) of the L-shaped adaptor ( 100 ) extends as high as the top portion of the J-shaped pull tabs ( 9 ), and in some instances, even higher.
  • a locking groove ( 14 ) or an indentation channel that goes within the depth of the vertical cylindrical housing's ( 1 ) extended portion.
  • the locking groove ( 14 ) locks the adaptor ( 100 ) to the top ridge ( 15 ) of the spout-and-valve assembly ( 8 ) attached to the fluid container.
  • the spout-and-valve assembly ( 8 ) fit snugly within the partially open vertical cylindrical housing ( 1 ).
  • a bottom tray ( 16 ) attached to the bottom portion of the open vertical cylindrical housing ( 1 ) helps in snugly fitting the spout-and-valve assembly ( 8 ) to the adaptor ( 100 ).
  • the preferably U-shaped bottom tray ( 16 ) with two vertical walls ( 17 ) is attached (in the embodiment that is a monolithic adaptor) to the partial cylindrical wall ( 29 ) of the vertical housing ( 1 ) and forms the protrusion beyond the partial cylindrical wall ( 29 ) and appears in a U-shape when viewed in the back view of the adaptor ( 100 ).
  • the O-ring ( 21 ) provides the seal between the horizontal cylindrical channel ( 2 ) of the L-shaped adaptor ( 100 ) and the spout of the valve-and-spout assembly, such that, when the valve is opened as a result of the activator ( 12 ) action, the fluid flows out the horizontal cylindrical channel ( 2 ) and down for dispensation.
  • an optional cylindrical shaped pin also known as seal activator pin ( 12 ), which acts as an activator to commence fluid dispensation.
  • seal activator pin ( 12 ) acts as an activator to commence fluid dispensation.
  • This activation is in conjunction with the lifting of the two horizontal wings ( 11 ) on the spout-and-valve assembly ( 8 ), which also aid in activation and fluid flow as the wings ( 11 ) are internally mechanically attached to facilitate the opening of the seal.
  • the cylindrical pin ( 12 ) located at the bottom of the horizontal cylinder's ( 2 ) first end is optionally supported by ridges, that in preferred embodiments are one or more triangular vertical ridges ( 3 ) attached to the cylindrical pin.
  • the ridges ( 30 ), triangular or otherwise, help against the bending of the cylindrical pin ( 12 ) upon exertion of pressure on the pin ( 12 ) for activation purposes.
  • the second end of the horizontal cylindrical channel ( 2 ) is open. However, it can be closed with a snug fitting cap. The cap can also be threadably or otherwise attached into the opening.
  • On top of the horizontal cylindrical channel ( 2 ) are found two locking tabs ( 22 ) or lugs oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction of the horizontal cylindrical channel ( 2 ). These tabs act as anchors for the locking mechanism ( 24 ) used to connect the fitment assembly on to the dispensing setup ( 23 ) (see FIGS. 5 and 6 ) such as a preferably flexible pipe ( 26 ) that takes away the dispensed fluid.
  • the locking mechanism is attached to the fitment assembly, which is now connected to the pipe for taking away the fluid.
  • the locking mechanism has angular U-shaped grooves ( 27 ) that would connect on similar tabs on the original spout-and-valve assembly on the container, but instead, now connect and lock with the adaptor ( 100 ).
  • the adaptor ( 100 ) acts as an in-between sleeve—on its one end, it has adequate design that connects with the spout-and-valve-assembly ( 8 ), and on the other end, it has design features that help connect with the dispensing system.
  • the adaptor is generally locked in with the dispensing system, and not the spout and valve fitment assembly.
  • the adaptor-dispensing system assembly is jointly connected with the spout and valve assembly as and when needed.
  • the adaptor is left attached to the dispensing mechanism, and not the spout and valve assembly because once the adaptor (or the adaptor-dispensing mechanism assembly) is attached to the spout valve system, the overall assembly would in an open position with the fluid flowing into the dispensing system.
  • This invention also relates to a process for dispensing fluid from a fluid container using the parts and their functioning described above.
